I recently used my Canon Sure Shot M (also called the Autoboy F in Japan and Canon Prima Mini in Europe). It's a very pocketable, simple point & shoot 35mm camera. The Canon Sure Shot M is an attractive, smooth edged camera with minimal features. This makes it perfect for snapshots, street photography or as a basic everyday camera.
Here is an overview of the basic features:
- 32mm f/3.5 lens
- Built in flash with on / off button
- Recessed on/off button
- Slow sync exposure compensation button (EV3 f/3.5 at 2 sec to EV7 at f/3.5 at 1/10 sec)
- Auto focus
- Full auto with speeds 1/60 to 1/250 second (no manual or aperture priority mode)
- Auto aperture from f/3.5 to f/22
- DX coded with ISO from 25 to 3200
- Contemporary CR123A battery
- Self timer
- Date mode feature on back
The only downside in my experience is that there is no lens cover as with many similar cameras.
I shot a roll of Fujifilm 400 through the Sure Shot M in downtown Indianapolis on a sunny afternoon. Here are some photos:
Bottomline, in my opinion the Canon Sure Shot M is an excellent point and shoot 35mm camera for everyday use.
